The World of Masks

Early in the morning, Jinsegae got up a big base. It's been a long time since I've been able to sleep this pure since I've been playing the masked world unconditionally during my sleep. I slept when I died in the game, but it was more like a stun than a sleep at the time.

'Hmm. Sleeping well in reality isn't bad either.'

Playing in the masked world definitely relieved me of my fatigue, but I didn't feel like I was sleeping. It just feels like I've been working all night and I'm not tired. I was as loyal as I could spend the whole day, and Merritt was big, but it was definitely strange from the feeling of having a good night's sleep and waking up. I yawned loudly once and removed the thick blanket. It was starting to get warmer, so I could take out a thinner duvet.

I tidied the sheets and pillows well and went to the bathroom to wash them. I simply prepared breakfast and put on clothes that are comfortable to work in, then looked in the mirror and trimmed my hair slightly.

"There's nothing weird about it, right?"

My dyed, curly hair is all messed up. I even wore the coloured choreography glasses and looked at the watch.

'We should probably get going, right?'

I grabbed the key to the house that was lying next to me. I put my hand in the key ring, swung and walked toward the front door. I took out my comfortable sneakers, put them down on the porch, and put my feet in.

Boom. Boom.

I hit the floor in front of the sneakers a few times, put on my shoes well, and then opened the front door. It's still cold, but the breeze is still breezy. After I closed the door and locked the door, I also put the house key in my pocket. I looked out through the hallway. The warm sunshine was a very good day for volunteering.

Thump, thump.

My body vibrates and my body starts to shake back and forth. The user holds the lever dangling from above, and the other hand rests on the wall, keeping its balance steady. As there were a lot of people going out on Sundays, the train wasn't packed like a weekday commute, but it wasn't enough to say that it was nice and relaxing. Jinseok was guarding a place like a mountain, even on a shaking subway. He placed the side wall of the passageway between the car and the car, completely blocking others' access as if it were water.

"Brother, isn't it hard?"

Yun carefully asked Yu-rin, who was leaning against the wall in front of Jin in his behavior. After leaning against the walls of the subway, he was able to stop people with his body. Jinsuk shakes his head.

"Don't worry, I can't shut this down."

Yurin nods slightly and smiles. It was a small thing in some ways, but I never felt bad about being guarded.

I was on my way to volunteer at the club. Jinsuk and Yurin were already moving to their destination on the subway as they had developed into a relationship.

"More importantly, where should we go after volunteering?"

"Yes!"

Yurin replied coldly. Jinseok smiled in disgust. I felt like my eyes were really looking forward to this moment. For Yoo Rin, who actually had a strict curfew, the only chance of going out after sunset was to date Jinsung.

"Let's talk to your father. I need you to slow down your curfew."

Honestly, the 7: 00 curfew was too much for a girl in 21C. However, Yoo Rin hesitated. Jinsuk tilted his head, thinking that there would be a burst of cheer that he was expecting right away.

"· · · · · · · Hey, there was a time when curfew was delayed."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yes. I'm twenty-three now, so I was wondering if I could slow down the curfew a little bit. I got my mom's support shot, so I was able to postpone it to 12: 00."

"· · · · · · · · · · · · That's awesome!"

Taking permission from Yurin's strict father. Yoo Rin also seemed to have a broken personality.

"Then why did you go back to 7: 00?"

"That's..."

Yurin hesitates. It's hard to tell. However, Yurin's attitude reminded me of a memory I don't want to think about, rather than the feeling of telling a difficult story.

"That was the first day I met my brother."

"The first day you met me?"

In Yurin's words, Jinsuk, who was thinking of the bear, slapped his head. The first day that Jinsuk and Yurin met was the day that Yu-rin almost helped Yu-rin get raped. Therefore, the time was quite late for Yurin, the 7: 00 curfew, to go around. Jinsuk stares at Yurin as if he doesn't feel sorry for her. Bad luck. That's exactly what I thought.

"On the way back from hanging out with friends that the curfew was postponed · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. So the surprised father pulled the curfew back to 7: 00."

It would have been difficult for Yurin to rebel as the case was an incident. Yurin's father would have been more determined than ever.

'That's just bad luck.'

I can't believe you're going through that on your first day behind curfew. I didn't think I could do anything about it.

"Still, can I ask you to postpone it by about 9: 00? Honestly, 7: 00 is a little early."

"No, I'm used to it. It's a little late to be wandering around all by yourself when you're going through that."

It seemed that the incident at the time was quite shocking.

"Being there late is enough for me to be with my brother."

Yurin's words open her eyes wide. When I looked closely, there was bloom in Yurin's cheeks. Jinsuk smiled and hugged Yurin's shoulder.

I heard a message that I was arriving at the destination station in a car that was rattling and subtly vibrating.

"Sister!"

You hear a lively voice from a distance. It sounds familiar. Jinsuk and Yurin turn their heads to the sound. It was Han Bo-young, the youngest of the club. Just as the loyal puppy jumped in front of the owner, Bo-young rushed to Yu-rin, who was next to Jin.

"It's been a long time, how are you?"

"Yes, it's me. How's Bo-young?"

"Yes, I'm full of energy."

"Well, Bo-young's a fool, so she'll be full of energy."

"Brother!"

The high-sporanotone shout hit the eardrum. To Jin, who teased herself with a real smile, Bo-young punched a dubious fist. Yurin smiled and watched the two of them.

The railway station was a little bit away from the service area. The three of them talked a lot as they walked to the volunteer venue.

"You look like you're in love now? Good for you, sister."

"Yes, thank you."

Bo-young was sticking close to Yu-rin and talking nonstop, and Yu-rin was responding diligently to Bo-young's little smile.

"Then why were you so far away? Were we waiting?"

"Hm. I was waiting for you. I wasn't waiting for you. Don't tie me up with a cage."

Bo-young held out her tongue. Jinjin and Yurin smile as they look cute.

"Well, technically, waiting for my sister is half the reason I'm running away."

"Run away?"

In the question of Jinsuk, she shook her head and said a word with a dislike expression.

"I really don't want to see you."

Bo-young frowns and shakes her head excitedly.

"What do you mean, you don't want to see him?"

"Park Tae-sung. He's here."

Amido frowns as he asks. I can't believe that good Yurin frowned on Ami just hearing his name. In a way, Park Tae-sung was also a great person.

"You're always late, but you're early today."

"I know. Someone welcomed him. He'll be back in an hour, like always."

"But, Bo-young. You can't say that."

Yurin said quietly, grabbing her collar, but she had no intention of withdrawing her opinion. No, I'm even more excited by the nostrils.

"You're too kind! Is that what you're getting at him for? Besides, he came here early today to brag about it."

"Proud of what?"

"I dragged it because I picked an alien car this time. Hyo-young texted me to come in public transportation because there's no parking nearby. I chewed it up and just dragged it in. You can brag all you want. I ran away because I couldn't wait to see my sister and my brother."

Stupid. It was a word that flowed into the brain of Jin while listening to Bo-young. When I heard it before, I expected everyone to drop out of school and not be a very good person, but this was even worse than I thought.

"Anyway, you keep an eye on her."

"Keep an eye on him? What?"

"The way he looks at it, I'm sure he'll make a big fuss about being an outsider, and I'll be sure to focus on Yoo Rin. You can come at me all you want, Yoo Rin. If you're a boyfriend, be sure to protect your sister. No, just kick his ass!"

"Bo, Bo-young!"

Yoo Rin tugged on her clothes and dried them, but her excitement did not sink easily. As the group approaches the rendezvous point today,
